Page 108: Configuring Csctl
Configuring CSCTL Configuring CSCTL Unlike QoS Zone-based FC flow prioritization method, CSCTL enables the same SID/DID pair exchange frames with different priorities. To be able to prioritize a frame flow between two end nodes, Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later provide support for up to 32 Virtual Channels (VCs) per port.
Page 109: Configuring Compression And Encryption
Configuring compression and encryption 4. Select Disable from the CSCTL drop-down button. Configuring compression and encryption Encryption provides security for the frames while they are in-flight and Compression allows better bandwidth utilization over long distance. Total bandwidth supported per blade for encryption is 32 Gbps and compression is 64 Gbps.
Page 110: Displaying Compression Ratio
Forward Error Correction Either of the following compression status is displayed in the General tab of the port. Enabled (Active) - Compression is enabled on a port and the configuration is Active. Enabled (Inactive) - Compression is enabled on a port and the configuration is Inactive. Disabled - Compression is not enabled on a port.
Page 111 Inband Management The Inband Management interface is protocol independent, so any traffic destined for these Inband Management interfaces is passed through the distribution point to the control processor. It is then handled on the control processor, according to the rules set forth for the normal management interface and following any security rules that may be in place on the control processor.

IPsec concepts There are several protocols and algorithms that can be applied. Choosing the protocols and algorithms you want to use may be a matter of adapting to an implementation that is already in place in your LAN, or you may need to do a significant amount of research and planning. The supported protocols and algorithms are defined and described in the RFCs listed in Table TABLE 17...
Page 218: Ipsec Header Options
IPsec concepts FIGURE 41 Transport mode and tunnel mode comparison IPsec header options IPsec adds headers to an IP datagram to enable authentication and privacy. There are two options: • Authentication Header (AH) • Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) Authentication Header AH can be used to authenticate a data stream, but does not provide encryption needed for privacy.
Page 219: Basic Ipsec Configurations
IPsec concepts Encapsulating Security Payload ESP provides authentication, and also provides privacy by encrypting the IP datagram. The use of an ESP header is similar to the use of the AH header. A hash algorithm is used to calculate an authentication value, the authentication value is sent in an IP datagram, and the same hash algorithm is used by the receiver to verify the authentication value.
Page 220: Internet Key Exchange Concepts
IPsec concepts Gateway to Gateway In a gateway to gateway configuration, IPsec protection is implemented between network nodes. Tunnel mode is commonly used in a gateway to gateway configuration. A tunnel endpoint represents a set of IP addresses associated with actual endpoints that use the tunnel. IPsec is transparent to the actual endpoints.
Page 221 IPsec concepts Hash algorithms Hash message authentication codes (HMAC) check data integrity through a mathematical calculation on a message using a hash algorithm combined with a shared, secret key. Table 19 lists the available encryption algorithms. The sending computer uses the hash function and shared key to compute a checksum or code for the message, and sends it to the receiving computer.
Page 222: Ipsec Over Management Ports
IPsec over management ports DH group choices are 1(modp768), 2(modp1024), 14(modp2048), and 18(modp8192). Each group provides an incrementally more secure key exchange by providing more bits (768, 1024, 2048, 8192). Authentication methods The methods used to authenticate the IKE peer are preshared key (psk), DSS digital signature (dss), and RSA digital signature (rsasig): •...
